So, you need a loan, but breaking your fixed deposit feels like kicking a puppy? SBI's got your back (and your savings)!
Let's face it, nobody enjoys needing a loan, but sometimes life throws curveballs that leave your wallet feeling a bit... deflated. The good news is, if you have a fixed deposit (FD) with SBI (the OG bank, you know?), you can score a loan against it without saying goodbye to your hard-earned interest. Think of it as a magic trick, but with slightly less smoke and mirrors (and hopefully, no disappearing doves).
How To Get Loan Against Fixed Deposit In Sbi Online |
But first things first, are you eligible for this loan-y goodness?
- You gotta be over 21 and have an SBI FD account (shocker, right?).
- The FD you want to use as security can't be mature yet. Basically, it needs to be chilling in your account, not off on some tropical vacation.
- Only single account holders can apply online, but fear not, joint account holders, you can visit your friendly neighborhood SBI branch.
Now, onto the fun part: getting that loan!
Here's what you'll need:
QuickTip: Treat each section as a mini-guide.![]()
- Your SBI internet banking login (username and password, the usual suspects).
- A sense of adventure (okay, maybe not that dramatic, but a positive attitude helps!).
Ready? Let's do this!
Tip: Summarize each section in your own words.![]()
- Log in to your SBI internet banking account. You know the drill, type in your username and password and avoid any suspicious emails or calls asking for them (because that's a big ol' red flag).
- Find the "e-Fixed Deposit" section. It might be hiding under a different name depending on your interface, but don't worry, it's there somewhere.
- Look for the option that says "Overdraft against Fixed Deposit". This is your golden ticket!
- You'll see a list of your eligible FDs. Pick the one you want to use as security and "Proceed" like a boss.
- Review the details and "Submit" the application. Don't worry, you'll get a confirmation message if everything goes swimmingly.
And voila! You've successfully applied for a loan against your fixed deposit. Now, SBI will process your application, and you'll be notified of the decision soon.
Tip: Remember, the small details add value.![]()
Bonus tip: Remember, the interest rate on this loan will be slightly higher than the interest rate on your FD. But hey, it's still better than breaking your deposit and losing out on all that sweet, sweet interest, right?
